We have some exciting ideas and plans for more challenges and trips in 2010 but we would like your input so that we can make sure we are creating the best events for you. Please have a look at the ideas below and click on the link for each event that you would be interested in attending.
Activity Weekends throughout the UK in 2010
With BMF becoming more popular all over the country, we are working on putting together a series of Activity Weekends and events throughout the UK. These will be run by local instructors primarily for local members but are of course open to other members around the country too. It gives our members a chance to get together for a social weekend away from BMF classes and to put all your training into practice! There will be a variety of events on offer, from Adventure and Survival Weekends, Physical challenges and races to Parties and Balls.
These will be run in the following regions:
- Scotland
- The North
- The Midlands
- The South
- London Area

European Challenge Series: Throughout 2010
Take part in one or all of our challenges around Europe. These will be adrenalin-fuelled competitive races in all corners of Europe. Challenge yourself to the "Surf and Turf" challenge, incorporating water races and sports with rock climbing, running and land-based races. Or how about our European Desert Challenge, a multi-activity race in the Sierra Nevada desert, trekking and mountain biking in the region of Spains highest mountains. If snow and mountains are more your thing, try our Snow challenge, including activities such as ice climbing and a cross-country skiing race.

London to Paris Bike Ride: Summer 2010
This cycle challenge is a must for all cycling enthusiasts. You will pass through rolling English countryside before reaching the channel and crossing to France to spend two further days enjoying rides through quiet countryside and beautiful French villages. The highlight of the trip will be the sight of the Eiffel Tower at the end of the ride, which marks the finish line and your point to enjoy a chilled glass of French Champagne! Whether you are amateur or professional cyclists, with sufficient training we are confident you will be able to reach the level you require to enjoy the ride.

Summer Party: June 2010
This year we would like to have a Summer Party in London to get all of our members together to celebrate the warm weather! We will be holding this in a fantastic venue with outside space so that we can enjoy the warm evening that we will hopefully be blessed with, and as with all our BMF parties, there will be plenty of food, drinks and entertainment and most probably a theme for some imaginative outfits!
We are also looking at running Summer parties in our other regions around the UK as long as we have enough interest from our members, so now is the time to let us know if you're keen for this to happen!

Alps Activity Holiday: Summer 2010
We would like to run a week-long holiday in the Alps this Summer to make the most of all the fantastic activities on offer in the area. The Alps in the Summer are relatively undiscovered by the UK travel market but this area really is a hidden gem. Activities range from white-water rafting, kayaking, canyoning and wild swimming to stunning hikes and off-road mountain biking - you can even take your bikes up in the ski lifts to avoid all the hard work, then enjoy the most exhilerating downhill biking tracks down the grass-covered ski slopes!
